Should have called this shopping centre Eastfield, but I braved it to tick off a new cinema to watch this movie and I’m glad I did. An absolute ride of a film, from start to end.

Lanny - Max Porter. A village is turned upside down when an eccentric local boy goes missing. Kind of like a broken mirror reflecting different views of England

Memoirs found in a Bathtub - Stanislaw Lem. In a society without paper, these mysterious notes are found which may reveal the truth of what happened to the paranoid bureaucratic world before. Perplexing and circuitous but amusing and clever

Tales from Two Pockets - Karel Čapek. After inventing the word Robot, Čapek wrote this selection of semi-satirical mystery stories, mostly about crime. Some more interesting than other but some absolute gems in here almost fable-like.
